Dead Man Running and 113 Minutes are also included in this book of 3 short Book Shots stories. I had not read any of these. I would say each story rates three stars, as nothing too amazing occurred to make any of them stand out. In fact, writing this review is hard because thinking back, I can’t really recall one single strong point in each that really stands out to me. I enjoyed the Book Shot stories for what they are, which is usually a quick and an entertaining read. So if you don’t go in expecting too much, you probably won’t be disappointed. (

Beware this is three bookshots and not a standalone book.
DEAD MAN RUNNING ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ First story was very good. Could've been a full length book. Main character and suspense were good.

113 MINUTES ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was going to give the second story 3 stars. The story didn't make sense, but the twist was good and explained it all.

13-MINUTE MURDER ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Didn't like the story as much as the first two, but I liked the character, some humor...and I'm a sucker for dogs. A darker story. (

3 BookShots contained in this book.
1. Dead Man Running - a psychiatrist witnesses his patient’s murder, uncovering a plot to kill a political candidate
2. 113 Minutes - a mother is determined to seek revenge on the drug lord who she blames for her teenage son’s death
3. The 13-Minute Murder - a paid assassin hunts for the killer of a Mafia boss’s son

These 3 stories are all short, very quick reads. Nothing spectacular in any of them, just a quick escape.
